Palm Springs Casino HotspotsA Palm Springs Casino? Deep in the burnished wash of the desert, on land once inhabited by Native chiefs, coyote, and wild mustangs, something amazing is happening: an unassuming 42-year old insurance salesman attending a conference on policy retention and conservation, is surrounded by flashing lights, clinking change, Rat Pack roués, and roving ingénues clad in black polyester miniskirts pedaling Cigars, Cigarettes, Roses from neon-blessed trinket trays. Is this Las Vegas? Nah, it’s Palm Springs, Baby.
